  1. Update - the sms texts were received - 20 minutes later 🤣 Smells like a queuing problem. And, the phone never rang. Still unable to log into the app, waiting for an undetermined amount of time to be able to try again and see if the app is able to handle 2fa did I mention mention this is really unprofessional (the apps handling of 2fa lol ) wow, what a way to begin a work day. Bummed I bought a year of premium, assuming the evernote could be trusted with my critical data. ... sigh. time to look for reasonable alternatives, again Yes, this is a rant, but I tried contacting support (did I mention lame) and cannot log in to get support. wow, well this has been an educational experience, and a reminder that some apps cannot be trusted out of the box with critical personal data.
  2. Using sms text for 2fa to the phone works OK (there remains risk in using this method - see link below), until it does not work (see my other thread about it not working right now) I suggest adding support for virtual device 2fa apps (google authenticator, authy, whatever. ....) This will decouple the 2fa from a physical device (super lame solution) The benefit is that I can now depend on my 2fa virtual device code for authentication, and now no longer have to worry about evernotes implementation of 2fa to send a text or call a phone to work or the loss of my physical device. for reference, a cnn article calling out why sending a direct sms text is a poor choice for 2fa https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/do-you-use-sms-for-two-factor-authentication-heres-why-you-shouldnt/
  3. I've been using evernotes 2fa to login for weeks, and this morning now it is no longer sending me phone texts smells like a broken lambda ??? I tried having evernote call my phone, no better, ... super lame, I trusted this app with critical data. I decided to dig up and use the 2fa emergency codes now informed too many failed logins, and to try again later - w t f ? Now I am waiting (how long? wow, ... really?) so, guess I will wait for 5m, 10m, 1h, 1d, the whole time wondering why I am paying for this clunky tool ... fwiw, and maybe another thread, add support for virtual 2fa devices, you know, like grownup applications do. So unhappy right now, and reminded I really cannot trust evernote with critical data
  4. I finally committed to using Evernote, and have used many other wiki solutions in the past. Collapsable sections is assumed for mature products that target personal productivty. So far I 'like' evernote, but non collapsible sections is truly crippling and limiting the utility and promise of evernote. This feature is really a basic ask, and differentiates those truly useful tools from those that are struggling to coming into the current decade. I mean really? sooooo disappointed at the lack of this really basic feature.
